Striped Mountain (13179') 5.11.12-5.12.12

An overnight trip up the Taboose Pass Trail and then a scramble up Striped Mountain. It's amazing to see how little snow there is for this time of year. The photos taken with the Olympus XZ-1 have a blurry dot on them and it's not something on the outside that I can clear off; so I'm sending it in for repairs. About 20 miles with 7900' elevation gain/loss. I camped at about 11,100 just below Taboose Pass, so about 7.5 miles w/5700' gain on Day 1. Then on Day 2 it was 12.5 miles with 2200' elevation gain and 7900' elevation loss. Eventhough Day 1 had the bulk of the elevation gain and I was carrying a heavy pack, it was easier than Day 2 because I have such a hard time with the thin air above 10,000'.
